Peach Salsa

Every month I post with a wonderful group of bloggers called The Secret Recipe Club. Each month we all get assigned a different blog to visit and make something from. It’s such an amazing group as it opens you up to other blogs you may not have known about. It also encourages people to share the love which I am personally all about. I love the community of blogging so this group really is a good fit for me. I really enjoy participating.

This month I was assigned the blog Sweet As Sugar Cookies. Lisa is a talented cook and has so many recipes to choose from it was hard to narrow down what I wanted to make. I kept going back to her Spicy Peach BBQ Sauce Chicken. The catch was I had just bought a monster size jar of peach bbq sauce while on our trip to St. Jacobs. But I still could not get the recipe out of my head. So I turned it into peach salsa. Hopefully Lisa likes the adaptation. I just could not help myself. Her peach sauce was stuck in my brain and had to be used. She also has some really amazing ice cream I’d love to try. Her meals are killer good and I’ve bookmarked a few of them to try when the heat lets up. So thanks to Lisa for the awesome inspiration today. Your sauce is so good I had dreams about it.

A little tip before the recipe. If you don’t mise en place yet you must try. Not only is it pretty but its also useful. You have no idea how many times I go to make something and I realize I’m missing an ingredient in the midst of an important step. So if you mise en place you will be alerted ahead of time and can send your kids or hubby to the store. See, I’m a giver. Always looking out for others.

An easy and delicious peach salsa recipe you can use on fish, chicken, pork or beef.

I know right, it’s gorgeous. I just want to eat it up with a spoon and forget putting it on top of anything. It’s a great recipe. I used lemon in mine but only because my limes seemed to have gone missing. They must be hiding out on the deck or something basking in the sun. Could not find them anywhere. So the lemon made the substitute. If I make it again, which I quite likely will I would use lime next time. If I can ever find my dang limes.

Quick edit- thanks to a reader for noticing the links for the vanilla salt and vanilla sugar are missing. If you don’t have time to make either feel free to substitute regular sugar and regular salt. But personally I like making my own vanilla salt and my own vanilla sugar. Adds that extra oomph that I love. Thank you Susan Saunders for letting me know this was missing!

Please make sure you stop by the other Secret Recipe Club members and check out what they made this month. There’s some amazing blogs involved each month so you are sure to find some great recipes.

I don’t care if it has lime juice, lemon juice or any juice; it looks amazing. I even have some tortilla chips. Just bring that bowl on over here and let’s have at it. Great choice for the recipe club!

Mise en place definitely helps! This peach salsa looks great! You did a great job on both the recipe swap and the SRC! Kudos to you for putting up different posts. I got lazy and just combined the two!

I’m not one to can things. I had a bad experience once and it’s put my off canning. I just make salsa fresh the day of or day before we want it. I put this on fish like a haddock or halibut, or chicken. I don’t eat pork often but it would be great on a pork tenderloin. I’ve heard peach salsa is also good on beef but I’ve not tried that yet.

I love peach salsa. I always add a bit of jalapeno to mine, just because I love spicy. Vinegar too, sometimes. And it’s such a pretty dish! Great with chips, of course, but also with grilled meats and fish. Good post – thanks.

I had jalapeno but was worried the kids might not like it. I should try that next time. I like a good kick. I am not a vinegar gal, no clue why. I’m addicted to buying the balsamics but then I never use them. Lol.

[…] Meal one: Whether it be soft tacos, crunchy tacos or tostadas, I make some variation of tacos once a week. They are just so dang versatile and don’t require too much brain power after a long day. This week I will use the bell peppers and summer squash for Veggie Tacos. To munch on with my tacos I will make a Peach Salsa. […]
